Islamabad to Badin Bus Ticket Price, Online Booking, Timing
The Islamabad to Badin ticket price runs from about Rs 3,500 to Rs 5,200, and this is a two leg journey. Badin is in the far south-east of Sindh, and Hyderabad is the change point that makes it work.
Short answer: plan on Rs 3,500 to Rs 5,200 in total and two legs. There is no dependable direct coach from the capital to Badin. Book to Hyderabad, then take a local service south-east across the delta.
Islamabad to Badin ticket price by leg

Travel the second leg in daylight
The road from Hyderabad across to Badin runs through the lower delta, and local transport on it winds down well before dark. If leg one puts you in Hyderabad in the morning you will have no trouble; if it arrives late in the day, plan on staying the night rather than pushing on. Twenty hours of travel is long enough without stranding yourself at the last change.

How to actually get from Islamabad to Badin
Two routings, and Hyderabad is clearly the better of them.
Sania Express to Hyderabad, then local
The lowest total and a straightforward three hour second leg across the delta.
About Rs 3,500 total
Kohistan Express to Hyderabad, then local
A luxury seat for the sixteen and a half hour first leg, which is where this journey is actually hard.
About Rs 4,100 total
Via Karachi and Thatta
Longer and dearer, but worth knowing if you are already heading to Karachi or want to see the delta road.
About Rs 5,000 total
Our verdict
Kohistan Express to Hyderabad, then a morning local coach. Hyderabad is the shorter and cheaper approach, and the money belongs on the long leg rather than the short one. Arrange the delta leg for daylight and do not try to compress twenty hours into a single day if the connection is tight.
